I haven't felt movement for over 4 hours

I am 30 weeks and 1 day pregnant. I am up in the morning by 6:30 everyday to get ready for work, and I feel the baby move in my belly at least a few times an hour. This morning I have been up since 6 and it's now 10:30 and I hadn't felt the baby move at all in that time. Wondering if it is normal to go so long without feeling any movement. It was really starting to make me nervous and I was getting kind of upset. Has anyone else gone through this? I have since been drinking water and drank some orange juice, and she has moved, but I am wondering if this means something may be wrong.

No, it doesn't mean something is wrong but if this isn't normal for your baby and keeps happening, let your doctor know. Most likely she was just taking a good nap. My son used to scare me like this a lot and I would rub my belly until he woke up. I was glad when he was born, so I could see he was OK. Not that the worry goes away once they're born. We always worry about our children. Good luck with your baby.

This dosent mean something is wrong but i think you should ask your dr to come in for a stress test anyway.

I used to feel my baby also every morning and one day he just wasent as active turned out his cord was around his neck altough not tight, thats why he still moved but not a lot. i was 38 weeks at the time and was delivered that same day.

I say be safe than sorry when there is a doubt there is not doubt, go get checked.
